WHAT KIND OF ANTENNA IS BEST FOR YOU?

Unlike many antennas that you can find on the market, the Ramsey dipole antenna is capable on being constructed in two configurations. These are, a normal dipole, and an “Inverted V” antenna. A normal dipole is just what we have been talking about. An Inverted V is a variation of a normal dipole that features slanting wires for easier mounting on small properties, or where you wish to mount the center of your antenna high without having to build two high endpoints (see diagram on next page). Antenna critics agree that there is little difference in performance between the two antennas.

One difference between the two types of antennas is the wire length. Because of slightly different antenna characteristics, the Inverted V antenna is slightly shorter. This has to do with a number of physical factors such as end effect (the magnetic and electric fields at the end of the wire), and the proximity and angle to the ground. To accommodate this difference in
